Actually, I would call that "image over text." I prefer an ordinary Acrobat file with straight text and images for the figures, because it is smaller, but "image over text" is okay. The only thing I do not want is the image only format, for the 7 reasons I spelled out earlier.** The proceedings I uploaded recently were image over text. One of them is 23 MB. The same file in text Acrobat is only 6 MB. I did not convert it all the way to text Acrobat because it is 710 pages long -- too much trouble. - Jed
